Precautions in the first weeks of pregnancy.
• Nutrition. Rational nutrition is always important, but now especially, both for you and for your baby. Foods containing high doses of vitamins, such as eggs, meat, dairy products, fresh vegetables and fruits, grains, seeds, nuts, vegetable oils, should form the basis of your diet. If you haven't been a meat and dairy eater before, know that you're in particular need of protein and calcium now. Avoid fast food, industrially processed foods such as processed foods, sausages, sausages, and confectionery.
• Rest and sleep. Often, a pregnant woman needs more sleep - about 8 - 10 hours. During sleep, your body begins to work more efficiently because it does not waste energy performing various functions in an active state.
• A good mood is the key to both your well-being and the normal development of your baby.
• Avoid lifting and carrying heavy objects. Physical activity and exercises for pregnant women are useful for you, but in moderate volumes and under moderate loads.
• Prenatal vitamins, especially folic acid (or vitamin B9), which can prevent some birth defects, including neural tube defects. It is recommended to start taking folic acid several weeks before pregnancy, or at least at the first signs of its onset.
• Stop drinking alcohol, nicotine, and large doses of caffeine. Otherwise, the risk of harming the normal development of all internal organs and systems of the unborn child increases.
• Avoid exposing your body to harmful chemicals, both industrial and household. Inhalation of vapors of harmful chemicals is associated with disturbances in the intrauterine development of the fetus, but it is in the first weeks of pregnancy that the formation of future organs and systems of the child’s body begins. Questions like “Can I dye my hair during pregnancy?” It's best to discuss it with a doctor you trust.
